AEMO has said that, at the end of 2024, the connections pipeline for Australia's NEM stood at 49.6GW, up 36% year-on-year.

ARENA will provide AU$20.8 million (US$12.9 million) in funding to a project focused on operating distributed energy resources (DERs) within Western Australia’s South West Interconnected System (SWIS).

The Australian Electricity Market Operator (AEMO) has signalled that solar PV, energy storage and wind projects looking to connect to the National Electricity Market (NEM) at the end of Q3 2024 surpassed 45GW.

The Climate Change Authority has signalled that Australia’s electricity and energy sector accounts for 35% of the country’s emissions.

The Australian Electricity Market Operator (AEMO) has indicated that Australia has seen the addition of 1.2GW of new large-scale solar projects brought online and connected to the National Electricity Market (NEM) in the past 12 months.

AEMO has published two engineering roadmaps that highlight successes in supporting 'the continuous increase of renewables in the energy mix'.

The Australian Energy Market Commission (AEMC) is set to integrate new rules surrounding consumer energy resources (CER) to exercise greater control over their use, aiding solar PV’s role in the electricity mix.

Public policy think tank the Australia Institute has released new research arguing that reconfiguring off-peak hot water systems could mitigate 4,000GWh of curtailed solar PV and wind energy on the National Electricity Market (NEM).

ARENA has provided AUS$15 million in funding to AEMO to enhance the operational capacity of the National Energy Market (NEM), aiding solar.

AEMO says projects seeking to connect to the National Electricity Market (NEM) in Australia rose to 43GW in June 2024, a 43% increase YoY.
